I'm amazed that people think that 4 minutes total is a blazing fast time to change a tube (including checking for whatever punctured). If it takes me more than 4-5 minutes, I know I've been REALLY flailing :rolleyes:

Did you do the nice teammate thing and roll up his punctured tube for him while he was pumping up the new one? ;)

4 minutes is pretty fast with a mini pump instead of co2. I didn't roll up the tube though, I was having a conversation with the other guy :lol:

Besides, the part that impressed me was that he had the tube out and ready before he even stopped.

See if you can guess who it was.
